When average variable costs equal to the average marginal cost, the average variable cost will be at the minimum point. i.e. lowest cost
it is at its minimum
The marginal cost (MC) curve intersects the average variable cost (AVC) curve at the minimum point of the AVC curve.
Marginal cost comes from the costs of producing just one more of something.

Marginal cost comes from the costs of producing just one more of something.
Average cost is minimized when marginal cost equals average cost. This occurs at the output level where the cost of producing one additional unit (marginal cost) is equal to the average cost of all units produced. At this point, producing additional units would either increase or decrease the average cost, indicating that the minimum average cost has been reached.
Ur probably in Farzads class... hah xD
relation ship between average cost and marginal cost
When the average total cost (ATC) is at its minimum, it is equal to the marginal cost (MC). This is because, at this point, the cost of producing one more unit (MC) is neither pulling the average cost up nor down. If MC were greater than ATC, it would increase the ATC, and if MC were less than ATC, it would decrease the ATC. Therefore, at the minimum point of ATC, MC and ATC are equal.
When the marginal cost is below the average total costs or the average variable costs,then the AC would be declining.When marginal cost is above the average cost then the average cost would be increasing.Therefore the marginal cost should intersect with the average cost at the lowest point in order to pull the average cost upwards.
If the marginal cost is less than the average variable cost, the average variable cost will decrease.
a. monopoly profit is maximized. b. marginal revenue equals marginal cost. c. the marginal cost curve intersects the total average cost curve. d. the total cost curve is at its minimum. e. Both A and B
